As a girl standing at 6'2", I don't think I could count on my hands and feet how many remarks I get about being tall. It doesn't matter where I am, who says it, or if it's appropriate or not – as soon as I walk outside my room I know I'll get some sort of comment on my height. Whether you're a boy or a girl, if you're tall then you've most likely heard something along these lines.

1. "Oh my god, you're SO tall!

Thank you, random person. All my life I thought I was short! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have come to this realization.

2. "How tall are you?!!"

I don't know, how short are you?!!

3. "Do you play basketball?"

I've never played a sport in my life, nor do I have the coordination to play any. Nice try though.

4. "You should be a model!"

I'm flattered, really, thank you for boosting my self-esteem. However, just because I'm tall does not mean I am fit to be a model.

5. Random people feeling the need to tell you about their tall friend/relative/coworker.

I honestly don't care about your son's best friend, your nephew, or coworker's daughter, but I'll stand here and pretend like I do to be polite.

6. "How's the weather up there?"

LOL, wow I've never heard that one before!!! You're so funny and completely original!

7. "Why don't you like being tall?"

I mean, besides the fact I have to buy all my pants and shoes online to ensure a size that fits and being taller than every attractive boy I see, it's a blast! Seriously! Love it!

8. "You're blocking the view."

Uhm, I am the view.

9. "You can so wear heels!"

Please, stop lying to yourself.

10. "Normally I'm the tall one, you make me feel so short!"

Not to be rude, but you must have friends all under 5'5" because you're not really that tall.

11. "You gotta find yourself a nice, tall basketball player or something."

Are you sure they exist? Cause I can't seem to find any.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
